Either soda crystals in water or biological detegent in water....but I don't soak - I cook!

Boddy - great to hear your cat has returned, they're such a worry!
Maxonian - I might have left one or two little things at the TC for you...not much though! Had a lovely time with my friend. One of those days that just makes you smile. Hope you have fun when you go.
Lil_me - sounds like we masters of avoidance at the moment! I will complete a list today. I will!!!!
Working all day to day but will fly this evening. See, I've managed to avoid flying already!
Quick non-flying questions - does anyone have a htc Desire phone? I'm starting to think I need a phone I can email with as I'm away a lot and I've missed a couple of potential new clients by not replying asap. I'm don't want to spend a fortune and I'm not bothered about having an I-phone so any recommendations. Thank you.
Have a good day. Hugs to all those in need and fairy dust for LL and toots even though it's probably clogging up your vacuum cleaners and creating more flying!
